- A few notes about homework
- In 4th grade, there will be a Spanish homework assignment nearly every week. In general, I will use online activities for our homework assignments. These assignments will give students one extra opportunity during the week to practice Spanish. Taking advantage of the extra practice helps language learning to "stick" more.
- Online assignments:
- Students are allowed to practice and "redo" assignments as often as they like. Practice is how we learn.
- For each assignment completed, students will earn 2 "sellos o pegatinas" (stamps or stickers). At the end of the year, they will be able to trade their stamps and stickers for small prizes.
- Let me know if you have any questions!
